An Expriment
On Wednesday 9th of Febuary a group of 16 students got together in the MA Communication Design studio with the purpose of telling stories with pictures or pictures and words. Why? To see... More > what would happen! I had already run a similar experiment to produce and publish a book in 40 seconds and I wanted to see what could be done in the slightly less frantic time of 2 hours.
But why the soup? Well, just as there is no such thing as a free lunch, there is no such thing as a free story so I exchanged one for the other. The recipe can be found on the back cover if you want to try and replicate the experience.
I would like to thank everyone who took part; I literally couldn’t have done it without them.
